Trump courts Latino voters, Harris off the trail

Trump will hold a roundtable at the Latino Summit at his Doral golf club in Miami. The event was postponed because of Hurricane Milton and comes as the former president seeks to eat away at Harris' edge with Hispanic voters, particularly males.

Trump will later head to Greensboro, North Carolina, for a rally.

Harris, notably, has no public events scheduled for Tuesday, spending her afternoon instead doing interviews with NBC News and Telemundo.

Trump and Harris prepare for flood of legal activity around election

Harris and Trump are preparing for a flood of legal activity before and after the election after the former president launched an avalanche of lawsuits seeking to overturn his loss in 2020.

Earlier this year, the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign announced what they described as an "historic" "election integrity" program that an RNC official said in recent months has engaged in over 130 election lawsuits across 26 states, and recruited approximately 5,000 volunteer attorneys who are ready to be activated on Election Day.

Democrats, for their part, have intervened in "dozens of baseless Republican lawsuits to debunk their lies and defeat them in court," according to an internal memo prepared by Harris' chief attorney, Dana Remus.

Nevada Republicans outpace Democrats in in-person early voting, trail in mail-in voting

Republicans are outpacing Democrats in in-person early voting in Nevada while Democrats are outpacing Republicans in mail-in voting, the Nevada Secretary of State Office's latest report shows.

The latest report, updated Monday night, reflects early in-person voting and mail-in voting turnout in the first three days. It showed 52% of in-person early voters so far have been Republicans, while 28% were Democrats. Of all mail-in ballots cast so far, 43% so far have been Democrats and 30% Republicans.

The pattern reflects trends from the 2020 presidential election, when Republicans outpaced Democrats in early in-person voting and Democrats outpaced Republicans with mail-in voting.

In total, 245,356 mail-in ballots and early in-person ballots had been cast as of Monday night, with just under 40% of them being Republicans and 36% of them being Democrats.

In-person early voting in Nevada began on Oct. 19.
